Okay... this is my UB2k 2.2.x to vBulletin 2.0.x importer. It can import styles (= skins), users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages.

This Importer has been created for vBulletin 2.0.3! The most things work correctly with 2.2.x (it will import the styles, users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages) but some features like setting new passwords for admins doesn't work. I don't want to create a new version as I don't think there are many UB2k users left who could import...

This script does not work with the vB import system as I wanted to have it independent of the vB directory (some servers are not able to read files in directories like ../../ub2k/). You can upload the script to any directory where you can access the UB2k directory and the vBulletin database.

A manual is in the zip file. Please do not email or pm me if you have questions or found bugs. Please simply answer the thread.

Known bugs:
- On some servers you need to chmod the directory "ubimporter" to 777...

No - the only thing different is that I run the backup - without tar - on the one server that is on then I need to tar it to transfer to the new server with VB, untar it, and put the UB2K-99XXX folder into the new server... Any thoughts? I do appreciate the help.

Thanks,

John

Is the script allowed to access the backup directory?

#44 08-20-2001, 02:47 PM

It should be able to - I really think the path is correct and it and where it resides is 777 to get it to copy/import...

Could you please try doing the following AFTER you get the error message:

Copy the Accounts.export to ubimporter/accounts.dat
Copy the Profiles.export to ubimporter/profiles.dat
Open ubimporter.php?step=douser&do=accounts

I hope this can fix the Problems with the accounts... then we must see what happens...

GameCrash - I took the easy route and did up a quick conversion on the old server and sent the dump to the new box - I'm pretty sure I might have screwed up along the way - Anyway - it works great and I saved 400 users and 10K posts - many thanks!!!

I'll need to sacrafice a Stuttgarter Hofbrau next time I'm over there in your honor....

The script works great except that the "Browse board with cookies" setting for imported users is "no" instead of the default "yes" setting. It took me a while to figure out why some users couldn't log in...

I was able to manually fix this, though, by doing:
> update user set cookieuser=1;
after the import.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
